happening right now, we'll get you live to washington in capitol hill. house speaker john boehner expected to speak right there from that podium at any moment. he had a call with the president last night after republicans sent a new proposal over to the white house to avoid the fiscal cliff. the house speaker. let's listen. >> i feel fine, i just sound a little foggy, that's all. as of today, the president's plan to avert the fiscal cliff still does not meet the two standards that i laid out the day after the election. his plan does not fulfill his promise to bring a balanced approach to solving this problem. it's mainly tax hikes. and his plan does not begin to solve our debt crisis. it actually increases spending. our plan meets the standards, it cuts spending and paves the way for real job growth in our country. in the five weeks since we signalled our willingness to forge an agreement with the president, he's never put forth a plan that meets these standards. and, frankly, that's why we don't have an agreement today. the longer the white house slow w

. >> a little sad we get this excited to find out people are actually talking to each other in washington. but it's a reality check, sign of the times. it's always better when the two top men who got to make the decision ultimately are getting in a room without scameras and moving proposals back and forth. it's a sign of progress. is it progress in the next 48 to 72 hours? that's probably optimistic. but progress is being made because conversation is occurring. >> i hate to say this, i was really thrilled we weren't getting a whole lot the last two days which signaled to me at least maybe these guys have decided it's not good to work this out in the court of public opinion, yet now we're starting to hear a little more. good news, bad news? >> i think it's encouraging. among republicans there's an emerging view that was championed by representative cole of oklahoma, wait a second, what we can do is pass one law that extends all the middle income tax cuts and another that extends the whole package and then let the president veto one, let the other go through and we shield a large majority o

so why it is held up, i don't know. >> dick butkus joins me on the phone from washington. mr. butkus, thank you for calling in. i know that more than a year ago the players in the league, they signed that new labor agreement that included testing for hgh. you say most players want it. so what's the deal? what's the holdup? >> well, i don't know. they want to check the validity of the test because, you know, if it is a false-positive, you know, you could destroy some of your reputation. but as far as i know, the scientific people brought up that the tests are reliable and i think the whole thing stems, for me, really revolves around my i play clean campaign, the effect on kids. i'm trying to tell -- get the point across to kids that it is the wrong thing to do and, you know, they look up to nfl players. so that's my part is trying to get the kids educated about performance enhancing drugs because there is, you know, there are surveys that we have been privy to, it is over 400,000 kids experimenting with performance enhancing drugs. >> over 400,000. >> i think that's important.
